Abstract: 4-Hydroxy-1,3,5-trimethoxy-4-methoxymethyl-2-pentanone (11), 4,6-dihydroxy-1,3,5,7-tetramethoxy-4,6-bis(methoxymethyl)-2-heptanone (///,),  and 4,6,8-trihydroxy-1,3,5,7,9-pentarnethoxy-4,6,8-tris(methoxymethyl)-2-nonanone (IV) have been prepared by aldolization of 1,3-dimethoxy-2-propanone (I) in aqueous NaOH solution at 5 'C. The components of the reaction mixture were separated by liquid chromatography and their structures were established by 13C NMR spectroscopy as well as by mass spectrometry after their reduction with NaBD.
